Deleting a RAID set

You can delete a RAID set if you no longer need it and you want to use disks for another task.

You must delete a striped RAID set to remove a disk from the set. You cannot delete specific disks from the set.

WARNING: Deleting a striped RAID set or concatenated disk set erases all the disks in the set. Be sure to back up any important files before you delete the set.

If you delete a mirrored RAID set, each disk of the set contains a copy of the files.

  1. In Disk Utility, select a disk in the set that you want to delete and click RAID.
  2. Select the RAID set, then click Delete.
